Nestled between the Pennines and the Lake District Fells, the
beautiful Eden Valley combines lush green countryside, abundant
wildlife in hedgerows and woodlands, fertile farmland, ancient
landmarks, and historic market towns and villages. Much like the
valley itself, this book is a meeting of the natural world, the
people who inhabit it, and their stories, history and skills -
traditional and modern. Dick Capel takes us on a series of
introspective ramblings from the source of the river in Mallerstang
to the Solway Firth at Carlisle. He follows the Poetry Path, the
Eden Benchmarks and the Goldsworthy Sheepfolds, and ventures into
history with enchanting stories of old churches, hidden artefacts,
and signs of ancient cultivation. As a long-time countryside
manager for the Eden Valley, few people know this area quite as
intimately as Dick Capel - and even fewer have worked as hard to
protect the natural and built heritage of this unspoiled part of
Cumbria. Covering natural history, myth and legend, this is an
unrivalled companion to an unspoiled gem of the English
countryside.
